About a week before the much-awaited Spring Festival holidays, a.k.a. Lunar New Year, Iris and Jin Liwei had a rare matching day off. They decided to spend the day with family, visiting the Jin Family’s Old House.
They brought Little Jun with them at the request of the elders. They absolutely adored the child and couldn’t wait to see him again. When Grandpa Lu heard that Little Jun was coming over, he also invited himself.
Both Dom and Jiang Ying Yue caught bad colds, so they stayed at home. Dom at the mansion, Jiang Ying Yue at Gold Heights.
This time, the couple didn’t bring any bodyguards. It was only the three of them like a happy family. Iris just had to make sure that her face was covered well. She wore dark sunglasses, face mask, scarf and a hat.
When they arrived at the Jin Family’s Old House, Jin Chonglin was also surprisingly there. It seemed that he volunteered to come when Huang Yuyan mentioned that Iris and Jin Liwei were coming over. Coincidentally, it was also his day off.
"You’re tough to beat, Sister Xiulan," Jin Chonglin told her. "However, there’s still time. ’Hey, It’s Me’ will reclaim the number 1 spot in the music charts again."
"Give it your best shot, Brother Chonglin."
The two had another great stare-down. Jin Liwei decisively stretched his hand between them, cutting their eye contact with each other.
Jin Chonglin could only smirk at his brother’s antics. The elders were too busy playing and doting on Little Jun to notice what happened between the three younger adults. For the elders, the three were just extras. Little Jun was the current apple of their eyes.
After eating lunch together, Jin Liwei suddenly received an emergency business call. His assistant Xu Tian informed him that an important foreign business partner, a CEO, suddenly arrived in the country and wanted to meet up with him on short notice.
"Schedule it tomorrow," he instructed Xu Tian.
"I’m sorry, President. It seems that he’s leaving the country tomorrow, so the only time that you can meet up is today."
Jin Liwei was very displeased. He didn’t want to leave his baby girl. He wanted to spend the entire day with her, especially since she had been so busy working and studying every day. The only time that they could really spend together was the short time before they went to bed at night. He was about to reject the meeting when Iris caught what the call was about.
"Darling, it’s alright. Go to that meeting. It sounds important," she told him.
"But—"
"Little Jun and I will stay here for a little bit more. I’ll just call home and ask someone to pick us up from here."
"No need. I’ll send Sister Xiulan and Little Jun home later. I brought my car," Jin Chonglin spoke up.
Jin Liwei frowned. He didn’t like the idea of his baby girl and his younger brother alone together. But since Little Jun would be with them, he didn’t protest against Jin Chonglin’s suggestion.
"What kind of car? I hope it’s not a sports car. There has to be space for a child’s car seat at the back."
